News of the year in the technology industry. "The Fit's most important spec its display, with a nod to Sony's TV division: they come with 1600x900 or 1920x1080 touchscreens and nothing else. 'We're not going to offer 1366x768," reps said. 'We've killed that.'" This is Sony's new, simplified entry-level notebook line. Very, very welcome news in a world where even a supposedly "Pro" laptop that costs $1199 ships with... A 1280x800 resolution. This bottom-of-the-barrel crap needs to be eradicated, and good on Sony for taking this step.

That is unfortunate. I love Sony products but I will not buy a (non TV) device with a resolution much higher than 1366x768 and these are becoming increasingly hard to find. Another one bites the dust.

Are you that guy that used to work in the IT lab at the school I went to that had all of the 1600x1200 LCD displays set to 1024x768 instead of increasing the font DPI to 120 in Windows, which caused them to look like a blurry pile of crap because you didn't know that LCDs only look good at their native resolution or at exactly half of it?

I.E. If you are running a 1920x1200 display and have to run it at a lower resolution the only way for it to not look blurry is to run it at 960x600. Remember this if you have a crap GPU and want to play a game, this may just allow you to get acceptable performance since it's only 1/4th the total number of pixels that the GPU has to crank out, but they are scaled perfectly across 4 of the physical pixels of the screen.
